Starting over

Wow I can't believe I let myself get to this point again. It's been 3 years since I got down to my lowest weight which was 205. I'm now 245. I let life be the excuse to let myself go(mostly because of surgery's, injuries, and work) . I'm only 5 days in and starting with changing my eating habits and walking daily. I recently quit my job and now are returning to school in a couple weeks. My biggest challenge will be adjusting when school starts. My goal is to weigh between 130-150. I'm about 5'1" tall. I would love to add some friends who are highly motivated who can help me through my journey. Here's what I look like today.

Add me please! I lost 35lbs after my 2014 baby and got down to 10 lbs above my prepregnancy weight then delivered last July at the exact same weight . I have 12lbs left of my pregnancy weight but want to lose a total of 36lbs. It's pretty overwhelming .2

I'm just starting over again too! I managed to lose 30 lbs three years ago but slowly I've put it back on. Now I'm ready to make weight loss a priority again. My goal is 55 lbs and I'm going to get there! You can do it2

Lost 85 pounds about 7 years ago then it crept back. I could blame it on the meds I was taking but I need to own my responsibility. So off the meds and I'm down 25 pounds .. 18 have been with fitness pal. Working hard changing what I eat is hard. It's coming off slow but I'm feeling great. Add me and we can inspire each other1

Hey I think that's awesome ď I'm currently on the same journey type. I gained most of my weight in the past 2 years. Just not caring I guess and letting stress get the best of me. I would love to connect so we can keep each other motivated.

Hello all . We are on a similar weight loss journey. At my heaviest I was 220 and at my lightest I was down to 159 but over the past couple of years the weight has been slowly creeping back . It's time to get back into good eating habits and getting more workouts in. Feel free to add me0

I completely feel the same way. I was pretty active on here with a different account about 3 years ago as well. I managed to get down to my lowest and I was the most active in my life. As we can all attest to, life happens and my success and lifestyle changes were quickly adjusted back to old habits. Here I am 50 pounds later, my highest weight. Glad to have other friends for great accountability and support1

My goal was to lose 50 pounds. I lost 42 and got stuck. Instead of continuing the fight I gave up. Before I knew what happened I had gained 21 of it back. I've lost 6 pounds since early July. Everyone feel free to add me. I am a great cheerleader.2

I'm glad to see that there are a lot of other people just like me out there. I have hovered right around 195-205 for the past six years. I had a baby when I was 42 and after his birth, my weight has stayed basically the same. I need to get in gear before I turn 50. Oh, and I just had a hysterectomy and I'm TERRIFIED that I will gain even more weight.1

I'm starting over to. I weigh about 260 and want to lose 100lbs. I had a baby 4 months ago and feel like I gained my weight plus more back. With the support from everybody and the motivation we all can achieve our goals. You've lost the weight before you can do it again girl. Feel free to add me.2

We all seem to know what to do. We all know what happens when we don't. I seem to have learned my lesson so many times then blow it. I am motivated and ready to be accountable.1
